Zanzibar, the Tiny Island That Set World Records

Zanzibar is the semi-autonomous part of Tanzania in East Africa. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 16-31 miles off the coast of the mainland. It is famous for holding the record of being involved in the shortest war on record (37 minutes before surrendering to the British in 1896). On another note, it is the world’s #1 producer of cloves.
